It's so sad to see old age claim a great mind.
- maxharris 14y agoI don't understand what you mean. His intellect certainly shines through in the interview, especially in the latter part where he talks about physics.
- Symmetry 14y agoReally? I thought that the parts about physics were really disappointingly fuzzy. Especially: "physicists have to say, well, somehow your consciousness takes one route or the other route without your knowing it." I think that its sort of shocking that he could fail to understand the arguments of his opponents so badly as to end up saying something so ridiculous.
- pjscott 14y agoI have a generally negative opinion of Roger Penrose's ideas, but let's be fair: the fuzziness here was probably inevitable, given the popular nature of the magazine interviewing him. If you judged scientists harshly for sounding like handwavy simpletons in condensed interviews for reporters, you would end up drastically underestimating most scientists who have ever had such an interview.
